Italy rugby ball supporter size 5 Gilbert

Technical specifications

Care advice

Inflate to 9.5-10 PSI with a lubricated needle. Never sit on the ball or leave it in prolonged direct sunlight. Clean with warm soapy water, air dry. Slightly deflate between extended uses to preserve the bladder.

Design

The rubber surface ensures a firm grip and good adhesion in varied playing conditions. The Truflight valve, elliptical in shape, improves flight stability during clearances and conversions. The ball is hand-stitched according to Gilbert standards, guaranteeing sphericity that meets World Rugby requirements. The design features the three colors of the Italian flag — dominant Azzurro blue, white and green bands — making it both a collector's item and a playing tool.

Italian national team

The Squadra Azzurra competes in the Six Nations Championship every year and participates in World Cups. Azzurro blue is the emblematic color of Italian rugby, worn since the first selections in the early 20th century. Italy joined the Championship in 2000, contributing to its expansion to six nations. This ball pays tribute to that history and allows supporters to play in the colors of their favorite team.
